Objective To observe high residual platelet reactivity in patients with acute coronary syndrome and diabetes mellitus receiving dual antiplatelet therapy with clopidogrel or ticagrelor and its influence on prognosis. Methods A total of 175 patients with acute coronary syndrome and diabetes mellitus in Wuhan Asia Heart Hospital were included in this retrospective study, and all patients were divided into two groups : ticagrelor group ( n = 22 ) and clopidogrel group ( n = 153 ) . The platelet aggregation function was tested by light transmission platelet aggregation (LTA). The high residual platelet reactivity was defined as maximum platelet aggregation rate ﹥46. 0%. The differences of high residual platelet reactivity and the effect of high residual platelet reactivity on cardiovascular events were compared between the two groups. Results The number of patients with high residual platelet reactivity in the clopidogrel group were 99 patients (64. 7%), and 8 patients(36. 4%) in the ticagrelor group (P=0. 011) . For stent thrombosis developed in three months, 3 patients were from the high residual platelet reaction group ( n=107 ) , none from the normal residual platelet reaction group ( n =68 ) ( P =0. 016 ) . For bleeding events at 3 months, there were 2 patients (1. 9%, 2/107) from the high residual platelet reaction group and 2 patients (2. 9%, 2/68) were from the normal residual platelet reaction group (P=0. 631). Conclusions Ticagrelor significantly decreases high residual platelet reactivity than clopidogrel. High residual platelet reactivity increases stent thrombosis risk for ACS and type 2 diabetes mellitus.

Objective To preliminarily investigate the effect and possible mechanisms of Senecio cannabifolius Less.Ⅱ(FHC-Ⅱ) on perfluoroisobutylene (PFIB) inhalation-induced acute lung injury. Methods Totally 156 rats were randomly assigned to three groups: the control group, the PFIB group and the FHC-Ⅱ prevention group, with 32, 62 and 62 rats in each group respectively. The FHC-Ⅱprevention group were given FHC-Ⅱthree times per day at the dosage of 340 mg/kg before PFIB exposure. 1 h after the last time of FHC-Ⅱ administration, the FHC-Ⅱ prevention group were exposured to gaseous PFIB (0.2 mg/L) for 10 minutes in a static whole-body exposure inhalation system. The survival rate of the rats were recorded at 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 24, 48 and 72 h post PFIB exposure;the lung index and total protein content in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) were measured at 1 h, 2 h, 4 h, 8 h, 16 h and 24 h; IL-1β and IL-8 in sera were assayed by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) at 1, 2, 4, 8 and 16 h post PFIB exposure and the histopathological examination of the lung tissue was performed at 8 h post PFIB exposure. Results FHC-II significantly reduced the content of the total protein in BALF, lung index and the levels of IL-1β and IL-8 in aera as well, and dramatically alleviated the histopathological changes in the lung tissue. Conclusion FHC-Ⅱ demonstrates some preventive effect on PFIB inhalation-induced acute lung injury in rats.

Objective To investigate the histological changes of rapid tooth movement in dogs treated by resistance reduction and distraction osteogenesis, aiming to establish an animal model and further to reveal the remodeling mechanism of rapid tooth movement. Methods A total of 8 local hybrid dogs were selected as subjects for this study. The second pre-molar was extracted on both sides. The experimental side underwent alvelor surgery for resistance reduction and a home-made tooth-borne intraoral distraction device was installed for rapid tooth movement, while for the other side (control side) only tooth-borne intraoral distraction device was used for rapid tooth movement. The longest active force-delivery span was 2 weeks, followed by 6-week retention. The distance between the moved tooth and anchor unit was recorded weekly, and radiography was performed for each side before and after distraction. The surrounding tissues including periodontal ligament and alveolar bone were sectioned for histological analysis. Results The average distance of tooth movement was 3.55mm on the experimental side and 1.11mm on the control side. The rate of tooth movement was notably higher (P<0.01) and no significant apical root resorption was detected by X-ray on the experimental side. The active alvelor bone remodeling was found on the tension and pressure sides. However, there was no significant difference between the experimental side and the control side after the retention period. Conclusion The rate of orthodontic tooth movement can be accelerated through resistance reduction and periodontal distraction without any unfavorable effects but at minimal anchorage loss.

To decrease the oxygen content in the cell is a key method to improve hydrogen production in Chlamydomonas reinhardtii.A new approach was developed by transforming the leghemoglobin gene lba,which has high affinity to oxygen,into the chloroplast of C.reinhardtii to get a low dissolved oxygen in the cell and result into improvement of H2 ase activity and H2 yield. The results showed that lba was successfully transformed into the chloroplast of C.reinahrdtii strain 849 and did not affect its growth significantly. The work paved the road for further regulation of lba expression in the chloroplast to improve of hydrogen production of C.reinahrdtii.

By using a yeast two-hybrid system, a yeast two-hybrid bait vector was constructed and identified for screening of the HPV18 E6-interacting proteins, and its effects on the growth of yeast cells and the activation of reporter genes were investigated. Total mRNA extracted from Hela cells was reversely transcribed into cDNA. Fragment of HPV18 E6 cDNA was amplified using RT-PCR and directly ligated to the pGBKT7 vector. The recombinant plasmid was confirmed by restriction endonuclease analysis and DNA sequencing. The recombinant pGBKT7-HPV18 E6 plasmid and empty pGBKT7 vector were transformed into the yeast cell AH109, respectively. After they were cultured respectively in YPDA liquid medium and nutrition-deficient culture medium, their toxicity and transcriptional activation were tested by both the phenotype assay and the color assay. The bait plasmid HPV18 E6 was successfully obtained. After being cultured in YPDA liquid medium for 16h, the A (600 nm) values of two yeast fluids were 0.98+/-0.03 and 0.99+/-0.02, respectively. The recombinant pGBKT7-HPV18 E6 plasmid and empty pGBKT7 vector could grow to white colonies on SD/-Trp/X-alpha-gal plates, while no colony could survive on SD/-His/-Trp/X-alpha-gal, SD/-Ade/-Trp/X-alpha-gal plates, indicating that the bait plasmid pGBKT7-HPV18 E6 was constructed successfully and expressed correctly, and could not activate the transcription of reporter gene alone. The yeast two-hybrid GAL4 system 3 can be utilized to find HPV18 E6 interacting proteins.

Objective To explore the relationship between recurrence fear and coping styles of cancer patients. Methods This study was a cross-sectional study, using the convenience sampling to select 126 inpatient cancer patients as the research object. The Fear of Progression Questionnaire-Short Form (FoP-Q-SF) and Medical Coping Modes Questionnaire (MCMQ) were used. Results The Fear of Progression score was (29.97 ± 9.24) points,the mean score of items was (2.50 ± 0.77) points, and the face dimensions of coping styles was (2.55±0.35) points, the avoidance dimension was (2.54±0.35) points, and the yield dimension was (2.38±0.54) points. Different gender (F=4.36,P<0.05) and marital status (F=3.22, P<0.05) of cancer patients in social family dimension of recurrence fear was statistically significant, different gender of cancer patients in avoid disease dimension was statistically significant (F=6.59,P<0.05). The yield dimension in coping style was positively correlated with the recurrence of cancer (r=0.481, P<0.05). Conclusions The recurrent fear of cancer patients with women, divorce and surrender coping strategy is prominent, women tend to take avoid coping strategy in response to disease. Therefore, it′s important to focus on women and divorced people in the psychological intervention of tumor patients, and guide patients to adopt the positive coping style to reduce the recurrence fear.

To screen for novel binding proteins interacting with high-risk HPV 18 E6 oncogene, the strain AH109 was transformed with pGBKT7-HPV18 E6 plasmid, and subsequent transference was utilized to screen for interacting proteins with HPV 18 E6 in human Hela cDNA library. HPVl8 E6 mRNA was expressed in yeast and there was no self-activation and toxicity in AH109. Seven proteins that interacted with HPV18 E6, including transmembrane protein 87B, phosphonoformate im- muno-associated protein 5, vimentin, KM-HN-1 protein, dedicator of cytokinesis 7, vaccinia related kinase 2 and a hypothetical protein, were identified. It was suggested that yeast two-hybrid system is an efficient for screening interacting proteins. The high-risk HPV 18 E6 oncogene may interact with the proteins, which may be associated with signal transduction and transeriptional control, epithelial cell invasion and migration, as well as humoral and cellular immune etc. This investigation provides functional clues for further exploration of potential oncogenesis targets for cancer biotherapy.
